"When I was champion, we defended the title every two months or less. Today, they're allowed to take half a year off because the subscription television channels need that long to build them up and advertise them.

"The reason todays champions aren't marketable is because they don't entertain. They don't take that step back when they have an opponent on the hook to draw a response from the crowd, both ringside and arm-chaired. It takes cajones and confidence," he reckons.

always enjoy listening to eubank interviews, especially now that hes retired and is willing to share more of the secrets to his style and why he was effective. i love his scientific approach to boxing.

some of his statements crack me up though, like how he apparently put 97,5% of his weight on his back leg. not 90 or 95. not even 97 or 98, exactly 97,5% lol. classic eubank.
